Reply to comment by Joubachi in Why do people post images of them getting a PS5? by EatinSumGrapes

Agreed, when my friend told me they finally were getting one I was happy for them. Months ago when people started posting about them being available from non-scalpers it was exciting, now it feels like karma farming, or so normalized that people think they are supposed to post here when they get one. Post me a picture of something you did in your first game on the PS5, not just a stupid picture of the damn thing!

Well for friends I'd be happy no matter how much time has passed, simply because they are my friends - but on here it seems like attention seeking at that point because why showing that to strangers. Google says 21.4 million copies have been sold, and to me it actually seems exactly that normal. At that point it doesn't just seem to be the rarity, but to be able to afford it that makes it like flexing for me.
